The most luxurious of Parisian gastronomic guides, the most exclusive. The most timeless: with the QR code accompanying each review, the book becomes eternal and is permanently updated. Albert Nahmias knows his business well (and that of others). A star restaurateur in the 90s with Olympe, the happy few flocked to his table. From the art of hosting, he moved to the other side of the counter to cultivate the art of being hosted, and now he delivers his judgments. Whether they are favorites or criticisms, it’s an elegant and incredibly useful book. Like a gourmet and travelling Ulysses returning to his Ithaca rich in sensory and gustatory images, Paris becomes an odyssey-city that constantly attracts poets and ambitious individuals… Its chefs are also poets. In Paris, the true gourmet is a traveler from elsewhere who comes to taste its charms; like Ulysses, one simply needs to choose a neighborhood, a welcoming restaurant according to their mood, age, or fortune… This guide gives meaning to daily urban wandering, in the labyrinth of over a thousand establishments. No one knows them all. So many dives, bistros, and restaurants for a people of Parisian navigators for whom it’s a bit of a secret sport. Less so now.

The Nordic people are often said to be hard-working, dutiful, open to innovation and equality, and trend-sensitive, with a ‘less is more’ attitude when it comes to clothes, furniture and interior design. Nordic histories and cultures have been intertwined for centuries, but what created their distinctive character? Was it the experience of Northern Europe’s four seasons, with cold, harsh dark winters, unreliable springs, bright summers when the sun never sets and beautiful autumns?
In this book we meet 32 individuals, neither kings nor queens, but real people whose life stories give insights into historical events and everyday life in the Nordic countries over 500 years. Nordic Stories reveals much about the lives, beliefs and customs of Nordic people from the 16th century to the present day. It is based on diaries, letters and other personal testimony, illustrated with objects from Nordiska museet’s astonishing collection.
Calling the Birds Home by Cheryle St. Onge is an intimate meditation on memory, nature, and loss. Born from the experience of her mother’s illness and death, the work delicately traces the shifting roles of mother and daughter, transforming the act of caregiving into a poetic dialogue with the landscape. Through luminous, contemplative photographs, St. Onge captures the rhythms of waiting, the textures of daily life, and the fleeting presence of light and nature as signs of continuity. Her writing and images move between fragility and resilience, evoking how love and grief shape our perception of the world. Designed by Teresa Piardi (Maxwell Studio) and published by L’Artiere, the book is both elegy and renewal—a tender testament to the enduring ties between generations and the quiet power of photography to keep what is gone within reach.
Guía Domingo: Tacos Monterrey is the fourth volume of a project born to celebrate one of Mexico’s most powerful shared rituals: tacos. In a city shaped by fire, work, and character, taco culture takes on a distinct identity—direct, generous, and deeply rooted in tradition.
This volume explores Monterrey through its taquerías: places defined by mastery of the grill, respect for the tortilla, and a relentless pursuit of flavor. Each selection reflects not trends, but substance—legacy spots, new voices, and tacos that speak clearly of where they come from.
Built through careful research and close collaboration with the city’s taco community, this book lives at the intersection of food, photography, design, and culture. More than a guide, Guía Domingo: Tacos Monterrey is a record of how Monterrey eats, gathers, and expresses itself—one taco at a time.
With exhibitions around the world and extensive media attention, the centenary of Monet’s passing in 2026 will be celebrated with due fanfare; and this luxurious book is a fitting and timely accompaniment, covering all of Monet’s key works in a beautifully presented, large-format monograph.
Claude Monet, who remains one of the world’s best-known and beloved artists, spent 70 of his 86 years with paintbrush in hand, drawing strength from constant renewal from reinvention. He embodied the beginnings of Impressionism, then defined it. Few artists have enjoyed such longevity or demonstrated such inventiveness. Monet traces this career, drawing on a rich iconography that includes the ‘must haves’ as well as lesser-known and sometimes surprising works. Author Marianne Mathieu allows us to (re)discover the painter and the man in his simplicity and his daily routine. She immerses the reader in the light and the color that characterized and shaped Monet’s work.
In her vibrant paintings, Shirley Villavicencio Pizango (1988, Peru) uses memories, family stories, and personal encounters to create poetic portraits of friends, family, and strangers. Her figures appear in settings steeped in symbolism: lush Amazonian flora, ceramic motifs, and geometric patterns reminiscent of Inca culture. At the same time, she draws inspiration from the European painting tradition, in which colour and form acquire emotional power. Villavicencio Pizango doesn’t shy away from broader social themes either, such as gender, diversity and identity in a Western context. Publication in collaboration with Gallery Sofie Van de Velde.
